Dreaming and Resting As Resistance

Through our liberation and empowerment workshop series, we will discover and embody strategies from the Rest is Resistance Nap Ministry framework to restore, nurture, soothe, and enhance our wellbeing. To counter the toil of everyday white supremacy, we will use our mind, body, and spirit to strengthen our personal and collective power as a path to liberation. We will expand our collective consciousness to higher levels of vibrations and joy!

This month long BIPOC cohort journey will focus on recognizing our bodies, hearts and minds as sites of liberation while using rest as a portal to imagine and create a life sustaining existence. Through artistic expression, collective divine sleep and dream rituals including crystal sound bath healing and self-reflection, together we will center joy and resistance to transform systems of oppression in ourselves and our everyday life.

Participants will also gain exclusive access to

• 24 lesson AntiRacist and Black Triumph Curriculum
• DC Black history and relevance to present day with current events
• Cultural pride and history
• Ongoing AntiRacist Table Online Community Membership
• Tools for Self and Community Advocacy including AntiRacist Table Ebook Accountability Resources

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you affiliated with The Nap Ministry?

No, we are not affiliated with The Nap Ministry. We are Black women inspired by The Nap Ministry who are interpreting and infusing the framework into our own series.

I don’t live in the DC Metro area. Can I still participate?

We have three Zoom Classes and an online platform which may be accessed from any location. Our two in person events will be held in Washington, DC and will not have a virtual component. If you are BIPOC and able to join, you may participate.

Do I need to bring anything for the nap event?

We will be providing nesting rest spaces for everyone and all supplies for artistic activities and nap rituals will be provided to all participants.

In order to participate is it a requirement to attend all of the sessions?

We understand life happens such that something may come up which prevents you from attending all five sessions. We do ask that you consider your ability to attend all five sessions before registering as there are limited spots and we would like to prioritize those committed to the full series.
